LAGRANGE, Ohio -- Keystone's McKenah Peters and Paige Hartley both blasted solon home runs, in the third and fifth innings, respectively.

Despite a late effort from Cloverleaf when they scored two runs in the top of the seventh, the two solo shots helped propel Keystone softball to the 7-5 win in the Division II LaGrange district semifinal game.

Both Peters and Harley went 2-for-3 from the plate with two runs and their solo shots. Keystone's Lauren Shaw picked up her 15th win from the mound this season in 5.2 innings of work. She allowed three runs, one earned run, and five hits in 20 at-bats. She also struck out one and walked one. Emily Cornish picked up the save.

Cloverleaf's Hallee Smith was the one who blasted the two-run home run in the seventh that helped the Colts to pull within two runs. Cloverleaf wasn't able to add anymore late runs though.

Smith led the Colts from the plate, going 2-for-4 with two runs, 3 RBi and the two-run shot deep.

Keystone will face the winner of Clearview/Buckeye in a district final game on Friday.
